As of today, it is nearly impossible for a retailer to imagine sales without being present on Amazon. With more than 50% of all retail product searches starting with this global marketplace, brands need to have an effective advertising strategy and make the most of their ads on Amazon. So how do you ensure more sales using your Amazon advertising?

Optimize targeting options

When it comes setting targeting options while creating your campaign, the key is to use one for the benefit of the other. Use manual targeting to keep control over your campaigns but run a test with automatic targeting. You can create a keyword campaign using the manual version, like you would do for any search engine and then combine it with an automatic targeting campaign. By setting lower bids, you can use the latter as ‘keyword research’. Then if and when the search terms starts performing well, you can use that keyword in your manual campaigns.

Leverage Amazon Keyword Tool

Just like a search engine campaign, it is important to identify the right set of keywords for your Amazon advertising. Invest in extensive keyword research to get a better idea of how and what buyers are searching across the platform. Optimize your keyword bids based on their performance. This can make your campaign more efficient and opens up great chances of winning against your competitors.

Use the power of Feedback Five

Your customers are your best salespeople and their opinions have more impact on your sales. Leveraging the customer reviews using the Feedback Five tool, can put you on a 5-star rating and help boost sales. If you have abundant positive reviews, use it to showcase yourself. On the other hand, if you have customers with negative experiences, use for product enhancements or improve your marketing strategy.

Consider running discounts

Everybody loves a discount. And, from a marketing perspective promotions have always been a great way to increase traffic, visibility and yield reviews. Spread your discount strategy across ‘lightning deals’, price discounts, best deal, BOGO (buy one get one), hourly deals or even shipping discounts. Use these to leverage sales and highlight your products amidst the marketplace clutter.
